Ingredients
  

  • 400 g milk chocolate
  • 100 g white chocolate
  • 120 g mix of dried fruit and nuts
  • 1 handful of chopped pistachios
  • 1 handful of sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • Firstly, line a large baking tray with baking paper and set aside.
  • Put three-quarters of the chocolate in a bain-marie and melt on a very low heat. Stirring ocassionally, melt the chocolate slowly until you reach 45C on a thermometer. Remove the bowl from the heat and add the remaining chocolate, stirring continuously until the chocolate has melted and it has lowered in temperature to 27-28C.
  • Return the bowl to the heat and stirring constantly, heat it for 1 minute or until it has increased to 28-29C. Spread the chocolate evenly onto the prepared baking paper. Scatter your dried fruit, nuts and sprinkles over the chocolate.
  • Then repeat the tempering process for the white chocolate and drizzle over the chocolate bark.
  • Leave to set at room temperature, and then break into shards. Store in an air-tight container.
